I don't know if anyone has suggested this, but it would be nice if a text message could be sent toa cell phone and/or instant messenger when a watched topic has a new post

You could set your email address as your cellphone, then any "alerts" would be sent there vs your email addy; though i fear it'd be semi cumbersome on the text message length (although a picture message can be up to like 5k characters)

Also as the system would vary between countries then I am not sure how this would work

Also who would pay for the texts at at least 5p per text it could be quite expensive.

on an aside. we had software installed on a site (process control crapola) where the text messaging module (experimental) was left on over the weekend. for some unknown reason, the alarm module racked up $3000 worth of text message charges as it sat in an infinite loop sending out messages to the effect of "your Chilled water return temp is too high -- please address this issue quickly" can you say Cha Ching!! ???
